A large group of people who have absolutely no calling in life except for dissing on everyone and everything around them because they have no understanding of being different.

Often times, a hater will engage in fights with somebody for no other reason except for a band they like, personality, or culture they believe in and follow.

Haters are often uneducated selfish pricks who only argue for the sake of feeling better about themselves because their parents beat them abusively.

Their intentions are no other reason except to make other people feel like shit because usually they talk crap over the internet, knowing all too well that they would get their ass handed to them in a fight in real life.
The few exceptions who do hate in real life end up getting their asses handed to them anyways.

not a word but is still used far too much and each time is increasingly annoying. Said to be jealousy, but could be someone who just points out the stupidity in what someone else is doing, successful or not.

side note to people who use this term, just cause someone doesnt like a certain artist or person it does not mean they are mad they are successful- it might just mean they dont like their music and or style or how they go about things.

me- "man lil wayne sucks dick"

hip hop fan- "o yous a hater"

me-"actually he is a very intelligent person who doesnt use his influence on today's youth as wisely as he could."

A word used by the common herd(idiots) who can not think of any other way of defending something questionable(idiotic). Hater is commonly used against fellow humans that have their own opinion differing from the words user's opinion or the common herd's.
